I've just solved the energy crisis (for the UK)

My inner geek says that I really want one

If I had 10 of 'em, Mrs. Dalek would still complain that the house was too cold.

Mine too, and my outer Geek really wants to glow in the dark

And we can use the substance you spout to fertilise cornfields

A quick calculation suggests that that reactor (25 MW) would take an hour to produce a tonne of fertiliser (assuming 80 GJ / tonne figure I've seen for nitrogen fertiliser).

25 MW is about the energy content released by burning a litre of petrol per second. You'd need 10s of thousands of these things to wean us off fossil fuels entirely (electrical energy not being our dominant energy use).

Cool (if a tad small to save us) though.

only til it went critical, then I'm sure she'd love that 2 million degrees, however briefly...

And coming back to reality, that is a serious feat of engineering. I want one

Give it another few years and it'll be the size of a AA battery. You'll probably have one powering your laptop (running Windows 10, it will probably still run out of power after about 3 hours).
